This exhibition project curated by Rafael Barber, with the participation of the artists Mauro Vallejo and Mónica Restrepo, is the result of a research project carried out at the 'Lugar a dudas' residence in Cali-Colombia, which was supported by Acción Cultural Española through the PICE's grants.
'Locating Outside the Sign' is an exhibition of contemporary art created from the film 'Ce' gamin la ', (that kid from there) made in 1975 by Renaud Victor about the communities of autistic children of Les Cévennes in the south of France. These communities were created by Fernand Deligny, a revolutionary thinker who investigated the possibilities of communication beyond language, understanding these as tools for the production of libertarian content.
'Locate outside the sign' takes this film as a catalyst in space and sets up an ecosystem that presents the works of artists who understand art as a tool capable of weakening the sign as an element of power that can be attenuated by investigating its nooks and crannies, decontextualizing it to make it habitable beyond its symbolic function.
